Demands for Systemic Institutional Change at ArtCenter

Within the past decade, we have voiced our concerns, had discussions about oppression, and created specific events to deconstruct institutional trauma. Yet the school continues to perpetuate systemic injustices while whitewashing our pedagogy, curriculum, and classrooms. You have implemented ZERO changes that students, faculty, staff, and alumni have suggested. ArtCenter administration’s inability to provide effective action through sustainable short- or long-term initiatives shows complacency in dismantling white supremacy, racism, and anti-Blackness within the institution.

We Publicly DEMAND the Following:
1. Make a Commitment to Anti-racist Practices
2. Title IX Empowerment and Zero Tolerance Policy
3. Create an Equitable Environment
4. Land Acknowledgment and Reparations
5. Affordable Tuition
6. Cancel the Master Plan and Restructure It
7. Dismiss President Lorne Buchman

A failure to meet every demand will result in a publicized tuition strike starting Fall 2020 that will last until every demand is fully and transparently in effect.
